Nouse
''Nouse'' ( ; Ancient Greek: , meaning intellect, or common sense; also the local River Ouse; also a potential pun on the words 'No Use') is a student newspaper and website at the University of York. It is the oldest registered society of, and funded by, the University of York Students' Union. ''Nouse'' was founded in 1964 by student Nigel Fountain, some twenty years before its rival ''York Vision''.

As of June 2022, ''Nouse'' has printed 500 editions. Unlike many other university newspapers, which have sabbatical editors, ''Nouse''′s staff is made up entirely of current students. It has changed dramatically in outlook and presentation over the years, being known at one point as the ''Nouse Co-operative'' or ''NouseCoop'', and presenting itself as a samizdat publication throughout the 1980s. The last edition of the 20 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Student Newspaper
A student publication is a media outlet such as a newspaper, magazine, television show, or radio station produced by students at an educational institution. These publications typically cover local and school-related news, but they may also report on national or international news as well. Most student publications are either part of a curricular class or run as an extracurricular activity. Student publications serve as both a platform for community discussion and a place for those interested in journalism to develop their skills. These publications report news, publish opinions of students and faculty, and may run advertisements catered to the student body. Besides these purposes, student publications also serve as a watchdog to uncover problems at the respective institution. The majority of student publications are funded through their educational institution. Some funds may be generated through sales and advertisements, but the majority usually comes from the school itself. Bec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
